US Open: Rafael Nadal not sure when he will return after loss to Frances Tiafoe

Rafael Nadal says he does not know when he will play again after losing in the US Open fourth round.

"I need to go back. I need to fix things, life, then I don't know when I'm going to come back," said the 22-time Grand Slam champion.

"I'm going to try to be ready mentally. When I feel that I will be ready to compete again, I will be there."

Nadal is scheduled to be playing in the Laver Cup, alongside Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, in London from 23-25 September.

The loss to 22nd seed Tiafoe was Nadal's first defeat in a Grand Slam this year.
